HOROSCOPE

For Friday, March 16, 2001

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Now is the time to introduce a new procedure; expect excellent results. You have the technical ability and the enthusiasm necessary to get a project off the ground.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Look to acquaintances instead of friends if you want a bit of flattery. However, if you want honest and helpful feedback, talk to the ones who care about you the most.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Gossip and rumors might cloud the air and block communication channels. A few hard facts can dissipate the general feeling of confusion.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Everyone seems to be preoccupied with personal catastrophes. Leave people to solve their own problems for a while as you attend to the neglected state of your affairs.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You know times are difficult but, truth be known, you are enjoying yourself. You look good, feel good and are ready to go out and have a fabulous time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Ignore the impulses to hibernate, run off to a desert island or otherwise escape your responsibilities. Instead, look at different ways to circumvent or conquer the obstacles to success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The road to enlightenment might be surprisingly easy to tread right now. You have a great deal of inspiration and plenty of company to chat with along the way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might find yourself more comfortable following the beaten path than venturing into the unknown at this time. Take care not to listen to any false guides.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Anything that comes into your space can be put to good use right now, and every person is your ally. It's good to be around friends again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might find it difficult to concentrate on work, no matter what you do. Romantic possibilities and vacation plans provide a delightful distraction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Many people come to join an organization of which you are in control. It might be time to redefine goals and responsibilities based on the new membership.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Do not let your speech carry on as freely as your thoughts right now. By telling people exactly what you are thinking, you might be giving them much more information than they deserve.

YOU BORN TODAY: Even your enemies have to admit that once you've set your mind on something, nothing can stand in your way. Luckily, you don't have very many enemies. Although you are bold and outspoken, you are quicker to compliment someone than to insult them. You are impulsive, entertaining and very lovable.
